Definitions

  • the present invention relates to timepieces, and in particular wristwatches, in which the movement is placed in a closed box and this box is itself fixed to a support device, and in particular to a fastening device. to the bracelet in the case of wristwatches, this device being distinct from the box, but surrounding it.
  • the object of the present invention is to create a timepiece, and in particular a wristwatch, of the kind mentioned at the beginning, which meets these requirements better than the timepieces already known.
  • the present invention relates to a timepiece as defined in claim 1.
  • the attachment device is entirely formed of elongated elements having an invariable section and profile over their entire length, which allows a simple and rational prefabrication.
  • These profiled elements may be plastic or metal, especially gold, made of precious or semi-precious stones, or a combination of said materials and elements. They can be covered with precious or semi-precious stones, for example diamonds. They can be circular, semicircular or polygonal sections depending on the case. They can be constituted by solid or hollow tubes. In the case of hollow tubes, they may contain a liquid, for example a liquid containing particles in suspension, in particular fluorescent, or any other composition intended to create a playful, decorative and / or aesthetic effect.
  • the attachment structure 1 comprises a central portion 2 circular and two side portions 3 and 4 diametrically opposite.
  • the central portion 2 consists of two elongated elements 5 curved in circles of the same diameter with half-circle profile connected by segments of straight and vertical bars 6, some of these bars such that the elements 7 are arranged obliquely so as to stiffen the structure.
  • the lateral parts 3 and 4 consist of segments of bars 8. These are of different lengths and assembled so as to form kinds of rigid cages of slightly trapezoidal shape in plan, connected to the circular frames 5. These are closed on themselves and the elements 6, 7 and 8 are fixed at their ends, which gives the assembly of the attachment device a particularly rigid lattice structure even if the elements are very thin in their ratio section length.
  • the constituent elements of the described structure are rigidly fixed to each other by their ends either by bonding or by welding, including mechanical welding.
  • the fastening structure 1 can be made by molding. It will be noted that in each of the lateral parts 3 and 4, two elements 8 arranged vertically on the outer side have, facing each other, bosses 9 with an internal housing. These coaxial housings are intended to receive the ends of a conventional bar for connecting a strand of the bracelet.
  • an attachment device 10 corresponding to the second embodiment is provided to receive a rectangular box. It has a structure similar to that of the device 1, that is to say comprising on the one hand two rectangular frames 11 connected by segments of vertical bars 12 or arranged in oblique spacers like the elements 13, so as to form a central portion 14 adapted to receive a closed box, and secondly two side portions 15 in the form of perforated cages and provided with receptacles 16 with coaxial housings for the engagement of the ends of the bars.
  • the elements of the frames 11 and the bars 12, 13 of the central portion 14 and the side portions 15 are all rectilinear. Their profile is in a semicircle apart for certain elements of the lateral parts which are circular. These profiles could also be oval or polygonal.
  • the attachment device 1 of the Fig. 1 is represented again at Fig. 3, 4 and 5 , this time equipped with a closed box 17 adjusted to the dimensions of the central portion 2.
  • the box 17 comprises in particular a cylindrical side wall 18 acting as the middle of the classic boxes, to which is fixed a window 19 which covers a dial 20 mounted on the watch movement housed in the box.
  • a chronograph movement and it is not necessary to describe the functions in detail.
  • the usual control members namely the time-setting ring 21 and the locking and stop / return-to-zero pushbuttons 22, 23, are constructed so as to be able to be mounted on the middle part 18 after engagement. of the box 17 inside the part 2, between the frames 5.
  • the uprights 6 placed on the right side, or three hours in the attachment device are sufficiently spaced to allow this operation .
  • the struts of the fastening structure comprise elements 7 oblique, or even ( Fig. 1
  • the box 17 will be fixed in the central part 2 of the fastening device by any suitable means, permanently or so as to allow its extraction. It will include a removable bottom, screwed or notch giving access to the movement. All the usual techniques of carrying out the movement, the indicator organs and the casing can be used without difficulty here.
  • the Fig. 6 and 7 illustrate a variant of the exemplary execution of the wristwatch of the first embodiment with its bracelet.
  • the watch case is made of sapphire, so transparent.
  • the Fig. 6 and 7 also show the two strands 24 of the bracelet, connected by conventional bars to the lateral parts 3 and 4 in the housings 9.
  • the Fig. 8, 9 and 10 are overviews of the wristwatch according to the second embodiment with the attachment device 10 of the Fig. 2 , a closed box 25 of rectangular shape engaged in the central portion 14 and two bracelet strands 26 connected to the side portions 15.
  • the movement housed in the box 25 is here a usual watch movement with a single control member is a setting ring 27, also used as winding in the case of a mechanical movement. This ring will be placed between two vertical bars 12 after engagement of the box in the fastening device.
  • Fig. 11 and 12 are perspective views of another embodiment of the fastening device for a square shaped watch case. On these views, the box 30 is shown without movement, background or dial.
  • the fastening structure has a triangular section forming pyramidal elements at each corner of the watch.
  • the side portions 3 and 4 for the attachment of the bracelet are very simplified, their size is minimum.
  • FIG. 13 and 14 Yet another embodiment of the fastening structure is shown in Fig. 13 and 14 for a box 40 of curved lateral shape, the fastening structure 1 being in this case made to give a barrel-shaped outer shape.
  • the described wristwatch is characterized by its original aesthetic giving it a very light appearance even in the case of a chronograph watch of robust construction.
  • the perforated fastening device entirely formed of segments of profiled bars is an inexpensive embodiment allowing in particular the use of precious metals.
  • this construction is very rigid and robust, albeit light.
  • the invention applies, of course, to any timepiece comprising a movement placed in a closed box, this box being itself fixed to a support device distinct from the box, but surrounding it, such as clocks, clocks, clocks and table watches or intended to be integrated into cars and other land, sea or air vehicles.
